We are told not to worry, and yet we do. We are told to pray about everything, and yet many times, it is the last resort effort we take action in. Tell God all that we are in need of….do we? Or do we find ourselves putting on a “BRAVE FACE” for the Lord? Do we stop short of laying it out on the line of what we are in need of? If there is any place in life that we should be showing the entirety of the souls needs, pains, worry, doubts, and brokenness, shouldn’t it be with the Lord Jesus Christ? Why do we fall so far short of allowing Jesus to BE all He can be for us? Honestly….it is because so many of us have not yet truly come to an understanding that we are LOVED AS IT! We are loved right in the middle of the doubt. We are loved directly in the center of the utter failure of efforts that are crashing down upon us. We are loved even while we are not even sure if He will ever want us. We are just loved! Life isn’t like this, is it? We are too often loved for the actions taken or the things we offer to others, not just loved for LOVES SAKE. But that is the sort of love being offered to us from Jesus. Why is it so hard to believe in? Because it is a ONE OF A KIND type of love. It is the authentic, real deal, one of a kind love of the Lord Jesus Christ and only He knows how to use it…and He is seeking to show you just how glorious His love is. The next time doubt wars against you telling you that you aren’t good enough for the Lord Jesus Christ to fuss with, war against that thought and remember…YOU ARE LOVED AS IS!
